Developer Tooling is a Lousy Business
Back in 2017 Slava Akhmechet wrote a post-mortem on the RethinkDB project: If you do set out to build a developer tools company, tread carefully. The market is filled with good alternatives.

I don’t really care about adblocking either way. I DO care about speed and compatibility and developer tools.
Oh and multiple profiles that are cloud-synced. I do a lot of bouncing around between different machines and I need my bookmarks to follow me.
